Coastal Roasters
Back to Top of ListSome might say the atmosphere at Tiverton's Coastal Roasters is just as bold as the coffee.
Buoys, stone sculptures, a brightly colored mural and a string of colored lights complete this whimsical coastal experience at one of the area's most highly-rated coffee shops.
